Paul was my husband’s favorite movie from 2011, and “It’s Probing Time” was his favorite line (and “God-bothering Cyclops”). So I made him this cross-stitch for our 3rd anniversary.

Inspired by the amazing patterns at WeeLittleStitches on Etsy. Initially, I got the idea from her Shaun of the Dead pattern, since it’s basically the same guys with different hair. I drew out everything on a graph sheet then stitched it out. I recently saw that she has a Paul pattern too, which is awesome and not lame-ish like mine (but my quote is better :D).

If you don’t know what Polkadot Afro, please see this video. I made this cake for our third anniversary. I saw this idea on Pinterest on our pre-anniversary vacation and bought the cake-pop pan from WorldMarket on the way home. I love the way it came out.
